While we attended the same university, it took us until we travelled to ITALY to actually meet. We often dispute the actual time we met each other... Brock thinks it was when Adele blew him off getting off the bus in Rome, Adele thought it was the time he blew her off in St. Paul's Cathedral ;) To make neither us feel bad, we finally settled on our trek to the top of the Duomo in Florence. We were both studying abroad, but were taking different classes... Adele was a senior having her last hurrah with her best friends and Brock was a sophomore and was finishing his honors program. While we hadn't met each other, we shared mutual friends providing the opportunity to overlap. While you may expect this story to be in a Hallmark movie, neither of us really knew what we were doing. Adele was only speaking in a British accent and Brock seemed a bit uninterested causing distance on the way up. Somehow the conversation shifted, similar interests were realized (*cue the fireworks*) and by the time we got down, we were already trying to make plans to see each other again. We started dating three weeks later.
